C. Patijn
Edit ProfileEducation
Patijn's university studies are associated with the University of Amsterdam, with 1987 recorded as the year of his studies there. The university traces its origins to the Athenaeum Illustre, founded in 1632, and was given university status in 1877. Its Amsterdam location placed Patijn within one of the Netherlands' largest urban centers of legal and commercial practice.
Patijn was admitted to the bar in Amsterdam in 1988. In the Netherlands, admission to the bar qualifies a lawyer to practise before the courts after completing legal training, and it marked the transition from study to professional legal practice.
Career
Patijn's documented professional career is connected with Stibbe, Blaisse & De Jong, a law firm based in Amsterdam, where he is recorded as a partner. The firm was founded in Amsterdam in 1911. In 1991 it merged with Simont & Simont of Brussels, and it later became known simply as Stibbe.
Today the firm has its main offices in Amsterdam, Brussels and Luxembourg, and its Amsterdam office is one of the largest law firms in the Netherlands.
